Chapter 2: Marshmallow Brain
"Hey……" Yup it's just like a normal day. Coming home…tired from all the drama and finally allowing myself to let loose and share everything with my best friend…my neighbor since I was five….Edward Cullen.
Flashback
I rolled over on my bed trying to look as sick as possible. It was the second week of school and I didn't want to go. There were meanies like that Lauren girl who pulled my hair when I was coloring my flower pink because it was her favorite color and I wasn't allowed to use it. (Since then I've hated pink)
I thought by pretending to be sick I can at least not go to school and deal with miss meanieness but I forgot one big problem….what to do all day. I was bored out of my mind and I couldn't go anywhere because I was "sick". So I lay like a loser on my bed and staring at my stars that daddy and I had recently stuck up there.
After rolling around for a couple of hours I decided to sit on my window shelf...at least the outside will be more interesting and counting my stars for the 100th time.
I took my blanket and wrapped it around me and sat leaning against the wall looking out my window. That's when I noticed movement in the window in front of mine.
"Mmm did the new people finally move in?" I thought to myself. Just then a boy around my age peaked out the window. He waved when he saw me, and opened his window as I did the same.
"Hi! I'm Edward Cullen…What's your name?" He smiled and ran his hand through his hair nervously.
"I'm Isabella Swan…but people call me Bella," I replied shyly.
He smiled "Hi Bella. I just moved here from Chicago…I'm in kindergarten…what grade are you in?" He asked with a hopeful look.
"Me to," I smiled. He returned it "At least I'll know someone tomorrow..."
"..Yeah…but I don't wanna go" I grimaced.
"Why?"
"Because there are mean people there." I pouted
He smiled, "What if I'm there? Will you come then? I don't want to be alone there."
"You won't be…plus you can't talk to me …Jessica said boys have cooties and we're not suppose to talk to them. There're the rules, and if you want to survive school you have to follow them" I told him with a seriously expression on my face.
"She says girls and guys can never be friends." I looked at him sadly. Even in the little time he talked to me, he seemed very nice and I didn't want to not talk to him.
He laughed "Hey! Girls have cooties too! But I already took my cooties shot so I'm safe." He winked making me blush. "Yeah, Mike Newton said we shouldn't talk to girls because they're whinny and cry a lot, but you're not like that… He said if I do then no boy will talk to me." He said with a sad smile. "But I don't want to not talk to you."
"Me either" I frowned. But I didn't want to go against the social rules either. I was so confused and didn't know what to do.
He looked thoughtful for a second and then said, "How about we talk to each here everyday? We'll keep it a secret so we won't break the rules and we can still talk. But we're not aloud to tell anyone anything,"
"It'll be our dirty little secret," I smiled. We spit on our hands and shook them.
The next day at school, when we saw each other, we just nodded and went back to talking to our friends pretending like we didn't know each other. Later, we sat by our window sills and talked about our whole day and all the stupid things we did.
It soon became a habit. It felt weird not to talk to him. As the years went by the "rule" disappeared but our secret friendship still remained. I guess it meant something more…something special because no one else knew about it…no need to worry about anything…no drama…just our friendship. There wasn't a secret we held because we knew we wouldn't tell anyone. Oh and that day when I went back… I was chewing pink bubble gum. I wasn't allowed to chew it because it was pink so I gave it to Lauren...'s hair. (Edward's idea for payback) School didn't seem so bad after that.
(End Flashback)
"Miss me in Bio?" He winked breaking me from my trip down memory lane.
"Pshht, you wish I did" I blushed. "You miss a "pop" quiz," I grimaced.
"Hahahaha , sometimes I love coach's timings, but I shouldn't worry because I would have had super swan rescue me."
"I feel sorry for that Super Swan who has to be your partner."
"Eh, she's not that bad once you get to know her," he smirked.
"I was talking about her marshmallow brain of a partner Loser Cullen." I retorted
"Hey! I gave you a cool name. Why do I get Loser Cullen?" He pouted.
"So you admit you're marshmallow brained?" I laughed.
"If I'm marshmallow rained than what would that make you? S'more brained for having the same grades as me?" He grinned.
"Very funny" I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Very mature"
"Oh and complaining over a nickname is very mature in deed" I shook my head at him and crossed my arms.
"You know what, Swan? Bye!"
"No! I say bye to you Cullen!"
After a few seconds of silence, both of us burst out laughing. "S'more brain…" I barely made out while laughing
"Well that's all I can come up with when you said marshmallow," he laughed.
To someone else we probably looked like a bunch of maniacs who need to book themselves a room in the mental hospital. When we finally calm down we replayed how each others days went, including Tanya, who happens to be Mr. Marshmallow brain's girlfriend…hence the nickname.
"I really don't see what you see in her Edward. She's shallow and plastic. Why would you do that to yourself?"
"She's really not that bad Bells. I mean, I know she can be a little rude at sometimes." It took a lot to not roll my eyes when he said "at times" ."But she's really sweet deep down." He seemed to be trying to convince himself more than me.
"Are you seriously telling me this? I know you initially went out with her thinking it was the 'right thing' because you were the quarterback and she was head cheerleader, but you can't seriously keep up the whole 'I like her' crap, " I gave him a "quit lying to yourself look". Then I softened my stare when I noticed the look on his face.
"What's the matter Edward?" I asked noticing how his eyes lost their light when we reached this certain subject.
"Nothing," he replied and looked down.
"Edward…"
"Bella…."
"Fine, when you're ready I'm all ears o.k.?" I smiled softly.
"Yeah.." he slowly smiled. He gave me a look, but before I could figure out what it was he had that mischievous smirk again. "And no matter what you said. I know you missed me in Bio today. Don't worry I'll be there tomorrow," he winked and got up.
Before I could gave a smart reply he left me hanging with my mouth open in shock.

I got up groaning. Next time slap me before I decide to stay up talking to that loser. Great! Now I'm talking to myself…not a healthy sign.
Trudging to the bathroom I realized something….todays Saturday…which means……THE GAME'S TODAY! I quicken my pace and took a quick shower. As I hurried to get dressed in my band clothes I noticed the silver Volvo still parked in the Cullen's driveway. I peaked out my window…the window was still open. I put on my evil grin n quietly peaked through. Yup, still sleeping… I grabbed my water gun from my closet and filled it. I slowly aimed from my window…perfect. 1…2…3….SQUIRTTT!!!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
I hid under the shelf hoping he didn't see me. I wait and wait and wait. I couldn't hear anything so I peaked out. BAM!!! Edward threw a water balloon right on my head. "EDWARDD!!!!!!" I screamed and squirt my gun at him while he threw balloons in my direction.
We went on until we ran out of water. Both of us were completely drenched and were staring at each other. A giggle escaped my lips and soon both of us were laughing.
"Good morning, Smallville," I smirked
"Good morning to you to," he smiled at the nickname. When we were younger we watched Superman and Smallville over and over again. Soon he started quoting the lines. So I stole Louis's nickname for Clark. Personally Edward sometimes reminds me of Clark Kent, so the name fit. And he seemed to like it too.
"Get ready for the big game. Don't want coaches start player there late."
"Yes, Ma'am" he saluted and went to get ready.
I shook my head and went to change myself. Sigh. What am I going to do with this boy?
Well? Tell me what you think! I wanted to give a little insight into their relationship. Hopefully y'all like it :] I gave you the chapter . Now you know what to do…REVIEW! :D
